VoteMyPurchase (“the app”, “we”) lets people post purchases they are considering and collect Yes/No votes with reasons from other users. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Google account details. When you sign in with Google we receive your name, email address and profile photo.
- Profile details you add. Optional country, city, preferred currency and short bio.
- Content you create. Listings (title, reason, price, currency, category, affordability tier, voting deadline, optional location), your votes and their written reasons, and reports you file.
- Device push token. If you allow notifications, a token that identifies your device so we can send notifications.
- Session data. A sign-in session is kept on your device. On our servers we store only a hashed form of your refresh token.
We do not collect your precise location, contacts, photos, or payment information, and the app does not process payments or show ads.
How we use it
- To sign you in and run the app: show listings, record votes, enforce rules such as one vote per person.
- To display your content to other users as you choose (see “Anonymity” below).
- To send notifications about activity on your listings.
- To keep the service safe, handle reports and prevent abuse.
Anonymity
You can post and vote anonymously. When you do, other users do not see your name or photo. Our servers still link anonymous content to your account so that we can enforce one vote per person, let you delete your own content, and handle abuse reports.
Who can see what
Listings and, where the poster allows it, vote reasons are visible to other signed-in users. Your email address is not shown to other users.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Data is processed by service providers that run the app: Google (sign-in), our database host (Supabase) and our hosting provider (Vercel). They process data only to provide those services. We may disclose information if required by law.
Retention and deletion
We keep your data while your account exists. You can delete your account in the app (Profile → Delete account) or by following the steps on our account deletion page. Deleting your account permanently removes your profile, your listings, your votes and your reports, and the votes and reports attached to your listings. Deleting a single listing also removes its votes and reports.
Security
Connections are encrypted in transit. Refresh tokens are stored only as hashes on our servers. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Your choices
- Edit your profile or delete your account in the app.
- Ask us what data we hold about you, or ask for a correction or deletion, by emailing us.
- Turn off notifications in your device settings.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the app.
